1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2Spray 24 muffin cups with cooking spray; line cups with paper liners.
3Beat yellow cake mix, instant French vanilla pudding mix, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer until all the cake mix is moistened and there are no dry spots in the batter. Scrape the bowl and stir one more time.
4Fill prepared muffin cups about half full of batter.
5Bake cupcakes in preheated oven until lightly golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. A cake tester or toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake should come out clean.
6Allow cupcakes to cool.
7Cut a plug about 1 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch in diameter out of the center of each cupcake.
8Fill the opening with raspberry jam.
9Sprinkle cupcakes lightly with confectioners' sugar.

Footnotes

Cook's Note:
I personally think that cutting plugs out of the cupcakes would be an easier method, as when I tried piping, it was a sticky nightmare. Perhaps it was just my lack of experience. This whole cooking/baking is just a hobby, after all.
